Neda Agha Sultan was 27 years old according to her fiance, Kasamin Makan. Speaking to BBC Persia, he said: "Neda's goal was not Mousavi or Ahmadinejad, it was her country and was important for her to fight for this goal. She had said many times that if she had lost her life or been shot in the heart, which indeed what happened, it was important for her to continue in this path."
